The patch titled Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in udf_table_free_blocks() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-possible-null-pointer-dereference-in-udf_table_free_blocks.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in udf_table_free_blocks() From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Fix possible NULL pointer dereference when freeing blocks in case table of free space is used. Also fix handling of the case when we need to move extent from one block to another one to make space for indirect extent. BTW: Nobody seem to have ever used this code.
